Has anyone else encountered a problem with "missing" floppy drives from
dialog boxes in Windows 3.1?  Sometimes all my drives C: and D: (hard drives)
and A: and B: (floppies) show up fine in various dialogs and other times
not at all.  If I do specify the drive identifier as part of the file name
then I am successful in getting the file, but occasionally a desired drive
(usually, but NOT always floppy) does not show up in a dialog box.

Anyone else see or hear of this?

Thanks to all in advance,
